ESI offers a PSD Protective Operations Course that parallels our world-renowned Executive Protection Program designed for corporate and personal protection. The PSD program can be taken as a full-time 21-Day Residency.

Prerequisites for this program are:

• Former and current military with experience in a combat zone within the last 5 years.
• Former and current law enforcement with experience in an active SWAT or Drug Task Force Team within the last 5 years.
• Or a graduate from ESI’s Executive Protection Program with a level 1 shooting score within the last 5 years.

We review training and experience on an individual basis.

The program goes beyond minimum standards to meet the changing tactics of Jihadis who attack convoys, protection details, and their principals daily. Defensive procedures must adapt to the ever-changing tactics of a determined and intelligent enemy. ESI’s PSD Protective Operations Course is taught by staff that are competent, and also profoundly rooted in the operational side of high-threat arenas.
